  1. sorry brother. Truly sorry. Rip young lady.
  2. Yep. I didn't say she embraced my efforts... She's something of a reluctant cooperator. She's 80-fucking-two. Who's gonna tell her no? You think Texas is as great as it is because everyone is compliant?
  3. given your reaction, -5%... It was a legit question and get all stupid. just fuck off dude. You're not concerned with legit diologue. It's a gotdam shame people who already died can't die again, right?
  4. go fuck yourself Brad. Gotdam you motherfuckers and your IQ high horse. 10% capacity is hardly taxing the system, especially with a backlog of elective procedures. ICU is at 20%.
  5. so is it bad to surmise that we are in pretty good shape from those numbers on the hospitalization chart?
  6. My dad split in Feb of '80, so roughly 40 years ago. Fuck him.
  7. where I'm at concerning "my dad" on Father's Day...
  8. Not sure. It should be an added incentive to fly straight in their jobs, IMHO. I am consistently "once you fuck up, you're fucked" kind of guy.
  9. something just clicked on Father's Day. My own father can rot in hell. My sons make Father's Day one that I look forward too. Song properly captures the ying and yang of today.
  10. as a taxpayer, i'd sure be willing to let things play out for Chauvin in gen-pop, regardless of the guards and their race.
  11. Yes. Many different beers and my 21 year old son son celebrated his new legal status( with regard to alcohol) by getting me a bottle of Garrison Bros. He is now my favorite son...LOlz.
  12. Puff Cheetos are where it's at if you want to impress the older ladies.
  13. This is where I'm at. IDGAF was MM thinks on life's challenges. His experience is anything but normal. That isn't to denounce the effort, but it's hardly relatable. In the past month, how many folks have reached out to black friends/ coworkers/ neighbors and had these 'uncomfortable' conversations? I don't find them uncomfortable at all, and yes, I've received my share of 'constructive criticism.' One of the longest and most intense discussions I've been a part of involved "colorblindeness" and how a lot of POC find it offensive while many whites think they are aspiring to Dr King's words in his"I have a Dream" speech. The dialogue helps. I was also a participant in another discussion at work that got pretty damned heated, especially for it being at work, and I could tell the narrator/ proctor was frustrated because she didn't think it would go that way. i shot her an IM saying " Today helped. Do it again please!" Her reply was that was all she wanted to hear, all day. I want to see where our actions go, following the dialogue, with an assertive emphasis on "our."
  14. I have never felt like this until this year. If that's fucked up on my part, I accept it. It needs to happen. It's too important.
  15. Naw, like your mom she prefers Lays. Just a different variety.
  16. For all of my cynicism, I haven't fucked around when it comes to my mom, 82 YO. I haven't seen her in person since early March. I drive 90 miles one way every other week and mow her yard. I bring groceries, set them on the porch, and call her to let them know they are there. Regardless of my opinion, I'm not taking chances with her health. She bowls twice a week and if the bowling alleys were open, there is zero chance she wouldn't be there. She has no underlying conditions and no ongoing health concerns, other than her age in general. I still don't want her taking the chance.
  17. and Mom & Dad don't change their PINs.
  18. Wife is cooking because I bought her a new deep dish pie pan this past week on vacation. Making some sort of beef tenderloin/ shrooms/ tomatoes savory pie. and copious amounts of New Mexico beer ( i.e. La Cumbre Slice of Hefen and DeLaVega Pecan, among others.) Having video chat with my boys later today. 'Twill be a great day!
  19. so... how 'bout the rest of the story, Paul?
  20. those were absolutely "demand crushing supply" issues resulting from insane panic as opposed to actual threats to well being. By late April they had normalized in most places. What are you asking about masks and massive worker shortages due to infections? There was panic, for sure.
  21. Chiefs at Raiders in Vegas... Now that sounds fun.
  22. So March, April, and May were mask mandates, right? Hell, many of the masks for workers didn't start until the beginning of May. That's been my point all along. People haven't been practicing the mask precautions the whole time and there was not even store level precautions until May; but there is no mass exodus of store employees or suppliers within the stores. Things have changed now though, i.e. the first round wasn't disruptive enough. We need to make this one really count. Why won't you just comply? Isn't it ironic?
